A rescript of the Emperor Alexander to Count Berg has been published here, togathor with five decrees, initiating extensive educational reforms in Poland. As briefly stated by telegraph, the decrees order the establishment of a university in Warsaw, with a large number of superior, middle-class, and elementary schools, and a free school for girls. Polled] is to be the language in which instruction is imparted to Poles, while special schools (Russian, German, &c.) will be opened for the other natimnlities of the kingdom. A sixth decree moderates the penalties cf the criminal code and abolishes corporal punishment. The rescript introducing the decrees is as follows : " Deeming it indispensable for the progress of the restoration of order in the kingdom of Poland to continue and develop the organic reforms the bases of which were laid down by the ukase of the 19th February (March 2), in the firm determine. tion of maintaining the same, I desire that these reforms may be carried out with unshaken perseve• ranee, since it is not possible to secure a regular and enduring development of the coantry without a thorough rejuvenation of its social life. 'With this object I have devoted especial care to the improve.. ment of the system of public instruction throughout the kingdom. No branch of Governmental activity demands in an equal degree such continued exer tions as this question of public instruction ; wherein it is not until a hater generation that the healthy seed ripens and bears fruit. For this pur pose I find it necessary to employ the first days of re-established tranquillity once more in uu.. dertaking with renewed attention the task of alter ing and amending the system of public instruction, which has already commenced, but has also been interrupted by the late disturbances. The general regulations sanctioned by mo on the Bth (20th) May designate moral and religious instruction as the basis of all educational establishments. By these regulations classical instruction is appointed espe cially for the high schools, without, however, abolishing the study of special branches of learning. Entrance to all the educational establishments is granted to all classes of society, without reference to their social position or religious creed ; and the number of the high and middle schools is con siderably increased, since to most of them a suffi cient means of existence is assured. These bases of the regulation of 1862 must in future be faithfully upheld. - While I accept them as au unalterable point of departure, I fed it necessary to order the following in reference to their further extension. " 1. In view of the new situation in which the rural population are now placed in an economical and administrative point of view, it is urgently ne cessary to disseminate and establish primary instruc tion among them. On in this wise will they be enabled to enjoy all the advantages of the new legis elation, and at the same time to foam a powerful support for the maintenance of peace and the pre servation of social order. Having perceived with real satisfaction, from the reports sent in to me, that almost the whole of the population clearly ucog nises the necessity of instruction, with confidence I entrust to the latest formed communes the task of increasing the number of schools and also of providing them with the requisite means, and those officials and others who aro more particularly con nected with the matter I order to devote their best energies to its furtherance. "Owing to their p3rsonal co-operation, it is to be hoped that in a short space of thee a sufficient number of schools will spring up and be formed, and thus efface one of the most lamentable defects in the former educational system ut Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., QN AN D HE I It.

Naval and Military Intelligence. The Select Ordnance Committee, recently appointed by the Admiralty and the War Department to inspect and report upon the improved systems of day and night tele graphing in military and naval operations, combined or in dependently of each other, have returned to town from the lele of Wight. They have completed their labou rs, with the exception of the offieiel presentation of their report. The committee arrived at Portsmouth on Tuesday last from London, and, embarking en board her Majesty's paddle steamer Pigmy, Master Commander Vine, left the same afternoon for Ventnor, Isle of Wight, where they landed, accompanied by Capt. Belton and Commander Colomb. They proceeded thence to the signal station on St. Cathe rine's Down, near Blackgang Chine. It was to be made the head-quarters of the committee during their stay in the island, and become also the signalling head -quarters during the intended exposition of the results of Capt. Bolton's and Commander Colomb's labours for the information of the committee. The signal station on St. Catherine's Down was under the command of Capt. Bolton, and was furnished with the Holmes magneto-electric light and Captain Bole ton's field lime light, as supplied to the telegraphic corps of the Royal Engineers for night signalling., and a Vene tian blind shutter apparatus and a set of naval code flags for day signalling. Two men *f the Royal Engineer telegraphic corps formed Captain Bolton's stuff. Ashy Doren, 7i miles inland from St. Catherine's Down, was another appointed station on the island, and one of the field lime lights for night signalling, with a double collapsing cone for day signalling, was stationed there in charge of two men of the royal Engineers. At the semaphore tower in Portsmouth dockyard, 141 miles from St. Cathe rine's Down, was placed a non-commissioned officer of the Royal Engineers with two signalmen, in charge of a field limelight for night signalling. Her Majesty's steamer Pigmy was in charge of Commander Colomb, in posi tions oat seaward as required, and was fitted with one of the magneto- electric lights (of the same description and power as the one on St. Catherine's Down), a field lime light and a flashing apparatus for night signalling ; a double col lapsing cone and a steam jet for day signalling. In The Sun• of August 23 we gave a general description of the magneto electric and lime lights, and the means of day signalling by the cone, shutters, and steam jet. It is therefore only ne cessary on this occasion to draw attention to the fact that Capt. Bolton and Commander Colomb'a system of signal ling may be said to be based on the "Morse" systems of telegraphy, the long and short dashes in the printing of the "Morse" message being efficiently and simply represented in the Colomb-Bolton system by the length of time in which the double collapsing cone, Venetian shutters, or any other dark object is exhibited by day, or by the length of time in which the magneto-electric and field lime lights on shore, or the plain flushed lamp at sea, are exhibited by night. Coloursare totally discarded in these signals, for the reason that a plain white; light by night will transmit its message to a much greater distance than any coloured light possibly can do, at the same time that the apparatus is simplified by the use of one kind of light only to a minimum point; and a dark, opaque, such as the collapsing cone or shutter apparatus, are preferable, for the same reasons, to coloured flags by day. The steam jet signals remain to be noticed. The efficiency of this mode of communication from a vessel at sea to a h ea dland on the coast was discovered in a curious manner.- One day during the recent experiments which have been carried out between Captain Bolton, on St. Catherine's Down, and Commander Colomb, on board the Pigmy out at sea, communication from the Pigmy became very difficult owing to the distance from the land and the peculiar state of the atmosphere. The hull of the Pigmy could just be discovered at sea from the Down ; but it was quite impossible to distinguish masts or yards, and there fore equally impossible to read any signal by the cone. While she was being watched as she lay thus by Captain Bolton and his party on the Down, three or four white dashes (thrown off steam) of different lengths, stood out roost prominently over the steamer's hull. against the dark horizon in the background. These white dashes, or escaped lengths of steal', furnished the hint for the stetunjet signal, A steam vessel lying so far off from the land that, l'ke the Pigmy, her ordinary mode of day signalling would be use less, can, by throwing off jets of steam, print t it her mes eage in long and short daehee :spinet the darker background over the horizon as certainly and as legibly as the eke lie instrument ou shore prints off its dots and dashes on its paper riband or tape. Ou Wednesday morning, the day succeeding the arrival of the committee at St. Catherine's, they were employed in discussing the reports banded in by , captain Bolton and Commander Colomb, with which they expressed the greatest satifrf tetion. On the afternoon of the suite day her Majesty's ship Pigtoy proceeded to sea, and when four miles off St. Catherine's comm enced steaming out slowly from ea the land and signalling to (he committee on St. Catherine's down with ordinary na val flo g s. At 6} miles' distance the fl :gs failed altogether, being thou at too great a distance to be distinguishable from the Down, and signalling was then commenced with the flashing system, the shutter apparatus, the double collapsing cone, and steam jets. It was kept up for sonic time at an average distance of seven miles, and always at a greater speed than that gained by naval flags at one-third the distance. On Wed nesday evening night si gna lli ng was commen ced between the down and the Pigmy, 12 miles at sea , with the lime light, and was continued a t a great speed up to the 14 miles' distance, when the magneto - e lectric light was brought into play, and cont i nue d the signalling u p to 17 miles, Messages were a l so f orwar ded direct to Po rtsmouth dockyard, and answers received in return, and also to the station on Ash-down ; but the most interesting portion of the signalling was b e t ween t h e bold headlan d of St. Catherine's and the Pi gmy , o ut in the Chan nel. On Thursday the committ ee were e mployed in carry in g out experiments in fi e ld s i gna l s w ith Captains B olton and Colomb's apparatus, and rap id com munication was ke p t u p at will, by day and by ni g ht , b e tween two mov in g p arties two miles distant from ea c h o th er . This conclu ded the ex pediments, and the committee expressed their warm approval with all that had been submitted to them for examination. It is understood that immediate measures will now bo taken, on the recommendation of the committee, to introduce per manently the combined Colomb-Bolton system into the army and navy as the signal f u t ur e operations by land or by s ea, cenjunction with each other. co de for both services in all w h e ther singly or in In the article on Naval an d Military Te le g ra p h y which supplied fAtuoge.v2ey 3risthei7 in the Channel fl ee t s stated that " the It should have read, " t he lime light flashing apparatus is now supplie d to ever y ship, &c. e The light now used on board the Chan nel fleet is a plain a ppeared :hp nigh t t a e l ri ge li dh g t h ini t ss , iTgu sh inoa o aw w lSlSi n lnu6' gpl a . t " intervals in long or short flashes, to represent the numerals in the naval signal book, by the flashing apparatus invented by Comm ander Colomb . screw w er c repairs,ory e t e went easo outt.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Aberdeen on Thursday, Mr Stirling in the chair. The report, an abstract of which appeared the The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN said he had very great pleasure in moving the adoption of the report, because he night safely say it was a satisfactory one, and this notwithstanding that they had suffered a large loss by the opening of the Highland line from Perth to Inverness. Nevertheless, owing to the prosperity of the district they were able to show an increase in the receipts of about £3,000, while the working expenses were only £1,039 more than for the corresponding half of last year. £3,400 had been expended in the renewal of tires alone—an expenditure which he was sure the shareholders would approve. Upon the general expenses there had been a reduction of upwards of £l,OOO. It was very satisfactory for the directors to be able to offer the shareholders an in creased dividend upon the old Aberdeen stock and on the Scottish Midland stock, and to maintain the dividend upon the Dundee and Arbroath stock. He should feel extremely disappointed if the directors should hereafter be obliged to propose a smaller dividend than that now proposed. (Hear.) The report was then adopted, and the dividends recom mended therein were declared, on the Scottish Midland stock, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum—on the Aber deen stocks, at the rate of 35 per cent„ 6 per cont., and 7 per cent. per annum on the preference shares, and on the Aberdeen Ordinary Capital Stock at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum—on the Scottish North-Eastern Preference Stock, at the rate of 45 per cent. per annum—on the Dun dee and Arbroath Preferential Stock at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum—and on the Dundee and Arbroath Ordi nary Speck at the rate of 71 per cent. per annum.

It will, therefore, nose be necessary to adopt a general system c orr,spoiading- to the wants of the different social classes, since the moral and spiritual education of women is the best guarantee fur the regular culture of future generations. As in this as well as in the other branches of public education I intend to take energetic, but at the same time judicious and progrce , iv . i uteasurcs, 1 consider it necessary to c minimise at once by the foundation of day-schools fur young girls in the most important towns of the kingdom, similar to those ,shouts which already exist in Russia and in Warsaw, and which aro found to he so beneficial. " 3. While the public educational establishments, and more especially the high and middle-class schools, are orga nised by the Government, endeavours will particularly be made to inculcate healthy views among youth, and to de volop a love for labour and for wise and solid instruction. The authorities, without i ermitting themselves or others to turn the hells of sc'ence into political clubs, must only keep in view the unselfish service of civilisation. They must constantly be engaged in improving public instruction in Poland, and in raising the standard of education. " 4. To this end, while offering the means of being in• structed in the national language to the Polish youth, we must also recollect that the population of the kingdom is composed of different races and religions. Each of these must be protected against every attempt at oppreseion ' and to carry out this it is before all things necessary to found schools for each nationality, and besides this to establish that in the common, and especially in the primary schools, the instructicn shall be given in the language the ma jority, , either Polish, Russ, or Lithuanian' according to . the locality and nationality of its inhabitants. of Russia in Poland must be fulfilled by .The. s- M perfect impartiality towards all those elements observing t a the population of the country is composed, s o which " Grounded on these general principles, I have this day signed orders that regulations for the following 'objects be drawn up. 1. For the prinaary . schools in the kingdom of Poland, 2. For the female gymnasia and the preliminarygym gymnasia in the same kingdom. 3. For the Russia n gym nasium in Warsaw. 4. For the German school of the Evan gelical doctrine in Warsaw. 5. For the organisation of the school directorate. Thus while I commission you with the execution of this:ukase, I am certain that by the measures you will adopt for that purpose, and especially by the choice of experienced and conscientious men, you will exactly and completely carry out my views. The people's school I en trust to the especial care of the organisation committee of the kingdom. At the same time I request that so soon as possible they may lay before me propositions in accordance with the above rules for the further development and alte ration of all the high and middle-class schools throughout the kingdom. For this purpose I deem it necessary to give them the following instructions :-1. The elementary agri cultural schools shall be reorganised in accordance with my ukase of the 19th February 1861 (2d March), and also with that sanctioned by me this day. 2. A curriculum of in struction shall be introduced at: the primary schools, and one or more of these curricula shall be specially for the the Russian or the Lithuanian population ; and faher, best means shall be sought out whereby teachers shall be educated for the higher schools. 3. The special district shoals shall be altered into gymnasia with seven classes; the general district schools to become preliminary gym- I I nasia, the one for the study of practical learning, the other for classical knowledge. 4. The Lyceum at Lublin is to be converted into a gymnasium, where the course of study shall be of an essentially classical natu s r A e. This shall also be the c ase in all Polish gymnasia. . proposition for the conversion of the high school be drawn at War saw into a university s hall, so soon as be possib up and handed in, w herein the best means of preserving the rights and privileges belonging to a Russian university shall be stated, and with due regard to the local demands. 6. Lastly, the definitive establishment of the institute in War saw, "Alexander and Marie," for girls, shall at once be taken in hand, as well as the special schools already exist ing, or those in process of formation, such as the agricul tural and the fore st school, in accordance with instructions hereafter to be issued. " I o ff e r, therefore, to all the inhabitants of the kingdom, without reference to their station, their origin, or their re ligion, the means of imparting to the new theeducation; fructifyin tivity of study may preserve the Polish youth from at tempting those senseless and foolhardy attempts which have not only caused so much u nappiness, but have als,) u ntil now prevente d the improvement and advancement of `he whole country," London : F.

'' - "TODA The friend of Southey, the enemy of 133iiiv r Itit er Savage Lander—poet, scholar, epigrammatist, and politi cian—has died in his ninetieth year. His bast poems had been written in Italy when ho was a gentleman of leisure, a man of fortune---honoured by all who knew him. The last productions of a genius which was at one time great v. ore publications scurrilous and discreditable, When one remembers the brilliant successes achieved by Walter ' Savage Landor in the field of literature, it is melancholy to think of so illustrious a lifo being closed in a shameful obscurity. Walter Savage Landor came of an old Warwickshire family. He was born at Ipsley Court, in that county, Jan. iO, 1775. He was educated at Rugby and Trinity College, Oxford; but, having been "rusticated" for firing a gun in Trinity quadrangle, he did not think it worth his while to ties : " After nineteen months of desperate struggle rgainst all the power of Russia, assisted by her ac complices in the murd.sr of Poland, end encouraged by the indiff,rence of the West, our insurrection is weakened and our ranks are thinned. " o‘-er the tombs of 50,000 heroes slain in battle, along roads furrowed by the wheels of the hibiCias which have borne 100,000 of our martyrs to Siberian snows, above the ruins of thousands of burnt towns and villager, the invAcr intones a hymn of triumph and redoubles his barbarian rage. He intones a perfidious and a tying hymn, the chorus of which is applauded by the accomplices of Russia, conspiring for our fall, who all repeat, The struggle is ended, and Poland is no more " In this terrible and supreme moment, we, the Government, strong in , our faith in the power, the rights, and the future of the nation, full of confi dence in its devotion, feel it our duty to raise our voices to you, the Polish people, to refute and con found those who desire to make you again descend into the tomb—to unveil to you, without shrinking, your most hideous scars—to bring you face to face with the faults that have been committed—to show you the still untouched elements of your strength-- to mark out for you the road along which the Na tional Government—the faithful guardian of your itnprescriptible rights—has resolved to guide you, and at the end of which are independence, liberty) equality, and fraternity. "In taking up arms upon the 22d of January, 1863, Poland neither reckoned upon foreign assist ance nor upon diplomatic measures which should not be supported by any effective force. "The nation knew that its right and its duty is to be independent. It felt that there is no power in the world capab!e of riveting 40 millions of arms in eternal chains. The nation had faith in its own strength, and it arose. " The first act of the national authorities was to restore to the people its own property, and by that act the Government at once showed the source whence the insurrection ought above all to derive its strength and its resources. But before the in surrection, unprovided with arms, had succeeded in developing itself, before it was able to bring into action the masses which burned to enter the lists, those who had first given the signal for the contest were no longer in existence to direct it. " For the spirit of devotion and the burning faith of these heroes and martyrs, their successors eubsti• toted wretched expedients to make head against the enemy and direct the insurrection. They doubted the power of a nation of 20 millions of men—they doubted the patriotism of the Polish people ! "The insurrection was changed into an armed demonstration ; the nation was asked to expend its property and to shed its blood with the sole object of bringing about and obtaining foreign interven tion by force of pity. " Then began that singular direction for which it would be difficult to find any other explanation. Every hep 3 and every plan was based upon the intervention of the West, upon the fantastic alliance of the perfidious of our neighbours, who, by bring ing forward the six points, was to negotiate with the Czar, not the liberty of the country, but a partial and monstrous autonomy, in which it would have been equally impossible fur the nation to live and to die. "Within the country the conflict degenerated into a struggle deprived of plan and aim, prolonged frees day to day, fAbendontAl to individual tflJrts, fflittzont the intention or desire of transforming it into a great and powerful natioual war, as It it had been desired to convict the nation of impotence, bt CAUBO its real force was not believed in. " The act of the 221Linuciry soon became nothing more Glen a vague and illusory bore, either beeuse it was nut known how, or because it was not desired t) call to at ma all the pnple ot Piusk, following the traditions of our ancestors. N 3 W, the AI usco vites are transpotting, this bum people by thou sands to Siberia. Either our leaders did not know, or they did not dare to ask, of the people the sacri fices required for a great national war which should decide upon its life or death, and now the Musco vite is ruining it and wresting from it millions. They did not believe in the people ; they distrusted the people. The fault was terrible. And yet the people have repulsed the treacherous favours of the Czar, and wait only for direction and command. " Men with sinister voices would like to persuade the nation that it is crushed and annihilated! Let them look at the gibbets upon which the corpses of fresh martyrs to liberty are suspended daily ; let them look at the tombs, whose numbers every day increase, which testify to the self-styled domination of the oppreesor; let them say the struggle is at an end! " People of Poland, the struggle cannot cease. To ask pardon of the Czar would be infamy and base ness of which you aro not capable. "The struggle must continue because the Czar has sworn to exterminate our nationality, our religion, and language. The more our arms are humbled the more the Muscovite redoubles his rage. No war could cost us as many victims as the interruption of the conflict. The Czar does not make war; it is the annihilation of our indomitable nation he pursues in his insensate fury. " Death upon the field of battle and liberty—were it only for our children—or death upon the gibbet, a slow agony in the Siberian snows and misery in exile ; this is the choice which remains. " We have suffered great losses, endured great sorrows ; but the work of redemption can only be accomplished by great sacrifices. On the other hand, we have grown in heart and in soul ; we have acquired experience, we know henceforth whence arises impotence, whence strength. The groans of our sisters and mothers beaten by our executioners, the tears of our brothers dragged indiscriminately into eternal exile, the creaking of the gibbets which bend under the weight cf the corpses of the noblest sons of Poland, resound in the ears and in the heart of the nation like the trumpet calling to battle, des. perate battle, battle for life and death ! " He who wishes repose and remains deaf to the call is infamous or a traitor ! But you, 0 Polish people! you hear and you will rise ; you must rise for the final combat, and the day when the Polish nation rises in its might victory will be secure. "In this difficult situation the National Govern ment only sees a period of transition ; the second portion of the war is about to commence—the popular war. To fulfil its mission it will display all its resources, it will recoil before nothing, it will neglect nothing ; and this is, consequently, its admi nistrative duty. It will not hesitate nor slacken in ,his course, and woe to those who shall dare to op- return to the university for the purpose, of taking a degree. He waa rather changeable in his notions of a profession The army he was supposed to jai!), and ho inclined. The law next cffered him its attractions, and 1.1.2 renounced them. deterwined to devote himself to literature. In 1802 he visited Pitrie, end ab:,ut the time of his visit Napoleon was made Consul ter life. On his return he spent 07,000 in improving his Monmouthshire property (Llan thony Abbey); but, in 1806, one of his tenants absconded, and in disgust he parted with the property which had been in his family for 7i.,0 years. In 1808 Mr Landor toJk part in the Spanish insurrec tion against Napoleon, and he was the first Englishman who went to the assistance of the Spanish patriots. He raised a body of troops at his own cipense, conducted them from Corunna to Aguilar (the headquarters of Gen. Blake, viceroy of Galicia), presented 20,003 reals to the cause, and was appointed colonel in the Spanish army for his liberality. He resigned hie commission on the restoration of King Ferdinand and the subversion of the constitution framed by the Spaniards during their struggle for independence. He declared that, " although he was willing to aid the Spanish people in the assertion of their liberties against the antago nist of Europe, he would have nothing to do with a per jurer and a traitor." _ _ . Mr Landor's reputation was made by " Gebir," which ho published at the age of twenty-three. So'ithey, as is well known, thought most highly of it, and spoke as he thought. In 1815 Mr Landor (who had in 1811 married Julia Thuil.. her de Malaperte, a daughter of the Baron de Nieuveville, a descendant and representative of the nobleman of that name who had been first gentleman of the bedchamber to Charles VIII.) resided in Italy, occupying first the Medici Palace at Florence, and, secondly, a villa and gar 'ens which he had purchased of Count Gherardesce, at Fiesole. At Pisa, in 1820, Mr Landor produced his " Idyllic Ileroica," with an appendix in Latin prose on the reasons why the modern Latin poets were not generally read by scholars. From 1824 to 1829 ho delighted English society with his " Imaginary Conversations"—classical, scholarly, and tasteful papers. In 1831 appeared "Count Julian, and other Poems." Ralph Waldo Emerson, who visited London about this time, has given a characteristic description cf him. " I had inferred," he says, "from his books, or megnified from some anecdotes, an impression of Achilleah wrath, an un tameable petulance. Ido not know whether the imputa tion was just or not, but certainly on this day his courtesy veiled that haughty mind, and he was the most patient and gentle cf hosts. He carries to its height the love of freak, which the English delight to indulge in, as if to signalise their commanding freedom. lie has a wonderful brain , deopotic,violent, inexhaustible, meant for a soldier—by what hence converted to letters, in which there is not a style or tint unknown to him." Southey says of Landor—" That I have obtained his approbation as a poet, and preserved his friendship as a man, will bo remembered among the hon. ours of my life when the petty enmities are forgotten, and ephemeral reputations have passed away. Landor's Eng lish has been strangely undervalued, sometimes savagely attacked in reviews; but year after year scholars must go to Landor for a multitude of elegant sentences, for wisdom, wit, and indignation unforgetable." In 1835 Mr Landor published " Pericles and Aspasia," " Satire on Satirists and Admonitien to Detractors," and " Letters of a Conservative, in which are shown the only means of Saving what are left of the English Church ;" in 1837 appeared " Pentameron and Pentalogia ;" in 1839, " Andres of Hungary and Giovanna of Naples ;" in 1818, " Hellenics ;" in 1851, " Popery, British and Foreign ;" in 1853, " Last Fruit from an Old Tree." Walter Savage Landor was a man of high genius, but an irritable, cantankerous, impetuous person—" genus irrita bile vatum," Tom Moore, in 1838, wrote of him, " Savage Lander is a very different man from what I expected to find. He has all the air and laugh of a hearty country gentleman —a pos rejoui—and whereas his writings had given me rather a disrelish to the man, I shall take more readily now to his writings from having seen the man." Larder was one of the most eminent scholars in Eurepe ; even at Rugby he was too clever to remain iu the school as a buy ; his scholarship was of the higheet class, and even to his later years his flee Raman hend " could be discovered in Latin epigrams and poems innumerable in a wall known. ,wc, kly paper.

The independent Prussian press is dai:y showing greater Itteresi• iu this trig', and the Yolkszeitung is publishing a scrics of articles on the subj,,ct. In its number of the 15th inst. it points out the baseltssness of the assumption of the prosecution, that "the ultimate object of the struggle with Russia was the seizure of the province of Posen front Prussia," no proof whatever having, as yet, been brought forward of such having been the case, and the participation of the people of Posen in the Polish insurrection being as intelligible as that of the people of England in Garibaldi's Neapolitan campaign, or that of Germans in the liberation of Schleswig-Holstein. Groat hopes were entertained, during the past week, that the majority of the accused would be liberated, but the persistence of the prosecution and the Court in prolonging the proceedings to the utmost possible limit in every case renders it probable that many months will yet elapse before the trial is ended. The sitting of the 14111 inst. was occupied by the exami nation of witnesses in the cases of M. K e:zutski, the Rev. S. Rymarkiewicz, and Dr. Nicklewaki. Some Prussian soldiers stated that M. liosvutski had endeavoured to per suade them to join the insurgents, and ha 1 sent arms to the frontier, but they appeared doubtful of his identity. N. Elven then proposed that he should be liberated, but the proposal was rejected on the ground that his case was con nected with that of another prisoner named Szezaniecki. The Rev. S. Rymarkiewicz, accused of having been an active member of the Polish party of agitation, was then examined. He denied having had anything to do with political matters, as also did Dr. Nikleweki, who, however, admitted that he had wished to give the insurgents medical aid, which he hoard they had been much in want of. The witnesses were then celled, and all stated to the president that they had never been sentenced by a court of justice. M. Elven, however, proved that one of them had been four weeks in prison for theft, and submitted that his evidence be rejected. The president said the Court would decide, but begged M. Elven not to take the Court by surprise in this manner. M. Elven rejoined that often he could not prove the untrustworthiness of a witness except by convict ing him of a falsehood before the Court. Radomski, a gardener , then stated that it had been said in societies at which the priest Rymarkiewicz was present, that the Prussians would be attacked alter the Russians had been conquered. He also said he had seen the priest go to Slaboszewo on the 15th April last, the day on which the insurgent expedition left. On the 16th inst. the hearing of witnesses in this case was continued. A maneservant, named Roczak, and a woman named Nankowska, deposed that they had seen the priest Rymarkiewicz on his estate during the whole of the day of the 15th April, so that he could not have gone to Slaboszewo, Messrs Elvcn and Lent then proposed the liberation of the priest Rymarkiewicz, Dr Nikleweki, and the merchant Zapalowaki, of Posen, accused of having sold gunpowder to M. Zorawski. The Court allowed the liberation of Dr Niklewski, but postponed that of the others. The case of M. S. de Szezaniecki then came on. He ac knowledged that he had acted as president of a savings bank, which he considered an institution of great value to the prosperity of the country, and incompatible with a time of insurrection ; but he belonged to no political society, and had not received any appointment as commissioner. The repor ts and other documents p ut in by the prosecution were not in his handwriting. M. Lewald proposed that the accused should be liberated. The Court reserved its decision. L.lde Sz,zanieeki, brother of the above, was next ex.:mined, Ile denied having acted iu any c ipacity in the n and expressed his regret th it illness di d not peerumrt e c h t i i o so. He had 13(1 knowledge whatever of ics ie ne a gainst Piussia a . He had beuebt 12 saddles, a ny i t 7 , t but they were for his own men, not for the insurgents.
